I don't think we can evaluate any of our young offensive players based on last season. We had a broken system with coaches that didn't want them there and didn't seem to care if they learned anything. I give Pike and all our young players a pass for this past season. I think they all start with a clean slate and the new coaches will do their best to maximize their talents. I'm looking forward to see how our offense looks with coaches that actually care about scoring TD's

Good post.

I'm not a Pike supporter but I watched everygame this past season with a couple of my buddies whom are pats fans. They mentioned time and time again that Pike looks like brady did when he entered the league. Had the frame but he had to take his vitamins and get his hulk on. We all think that he needs to bulk up a bit and get a fair chance. I was on the clausen bandwagon but how can I stick by a guy that looks scared and gets so many balls batted down. I tell myself Peyton went 1-15 his first season.

The Panthers are a Professional Football team it'd be nice to see something done to fix whats wrong. Even if it is some QB competition.

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
